biography
Priti Anand currently working as a senior research assistant in Case Western Reserve University. In 2009 completed MS Microbial Biotechnology. In 2004 received gold medal for outstanding academic performance at Guru Nanak Dev University. In 2009 Elected to Phi Kappa Phi membership for academic achievement at North Carolina State University. The overarching goal is to understand the epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms that can be exploited for the development of therapeutic drugs for cardiovascular and muscular diseases.
Area of Interest
My research work is focused on studying the role of epigenetic reader proteins--BET bromodomains--in cardiac and smooth muscle biology, and cardiovascular diseases.
I am also involved in investigating the role of transcription factor, Kruppel-like Factor 15 (KLF15) in skeletal muscle physiology and pathology.
